first to leave a comment bitches
1st to comment, last to get a girl
Tito's got his confidence back. Jenna's gonna get it tonight !!!
Your really gonna get emotional from a 5 years drought
proud of ya tito... good job
Im so happy for Tito, and so glad I picked him
I feel bad cause i didnt at all
ditto except i didnt pick him cause i thought he'd lose but deep down I wanted him to win and he proved me wrong! When he did his trademark graveyard move at the end that just threw me over the edge with exceitement and nostalgia all at the smae time. I really want to see him succeed he's the main reason I was hooked on the UFC back when it started out. Chuffed to see him still perform against top opponents he never took much damage in the UFC and has a chin of steel like dan henderson, contrary to the other legends wanderlei and liddell.
I told you he was gonna win. But at least hes not compaining about his ****ing back
So what? He finished a top contender. Talk aboout Tito whatever you want, injuries are a pain in back for ever top sporter. He endured al critisism and proofed people wrong. 36 years old and still here? One word... RESPECT! Atleast give him that...
i knew he was going to win
hes on cloud 9 good for him good fight
Looking forward to 2016 for his next victory
HATERS GONNA HATE!
for the 1st time im pretty happy to see tito this happy and take a win
I feel happy for Tito, this moment just shows how much hes been through good for him. love him or hate him he deserved to win
I don't know why but i'm so happy for him, hope he can still be part of the UFC.
Tito is the man, he's not in the Hall of fame for no reason!
Me three, i was never a big Tito fan, but i knew he had a big role in MMA history, i surely didnt expect him to win here, but when he dropped Bader, and won few seconds later, i haven't felt that good about a fighter winning since Fedor vs Rodgers, im really happy for him, and im a fan of him now.

wow , you first, did you win a million dollars?... everybody knew lol he was going to win, yeah rigggght lol, but anyways, i'm happy for tito, and tito's family, you guys just don't understand, injures are injures, he's getting older, his body isn't the same nomore. but i do understand he has alot of enemies that doesn't want him to success, but alot of enemies that he has now, that's because of his mouth, but you have to feel for the guy, he's a human being, and he was under alot of pressure tonight, and he won, i'm happy for him,
for fight tito
No need for a , so many times lol.
I never expected Tito to be this emotional
Congratz Tito!!!!!!!!!
U pulled it off, i hoped u would win but i couldn't make myself believe it...
I'm happy Tito was able to get at least one more win before he retires. He deserved this.
He did not just say he is the ALI of mma.. come on tito!
He never said that. He said, Boxing had Ali, WWE/WWF had Hulk Hogan & UFC had Tito Ortiz. He was the UFC poster boy for many years & He held PPV records for many years too. He deserved this & he looks like he's back. UFC was the one that won tonight
damn this guy loves to hear himself
its ironic that out of the three original LHW's, randy, chuck, and tito, tito is the one who gets to continue his career while the other two were knocked into retirment. it must suck for chuck to watch tito get that win and continue his career.
Randy wasn't "knocked into retirement". He said before the fight that it was his last. If he wanted to he could fight again tomorrow. As for Chuck, he knows he can still KTTFO.
Since I know you can't make me shut up I'm gonna keep
Doin it bitch
good for tito he postponed his retirement for another couple months
yea i'm pretty sure u were one of the ones who thought his retirement was coming tonite....NOT!!!!!!!!
Is it bad that I still want titto to get retired by KO
good for tito, im really glad he won
ever since the first time i saw tito do his little grave dig dance i have disliked him. that being said i am happy for him everyone counted him out including myself and he went out there proved us wrong
tito is a man of many excuses,yes maybe he"s had some surgreys but thats not a good enuff excuse, 1st fight he has won since 2005, and imo he was out classed in most those fights.and i think he just got lucky with bader.watch next fight he will lose and start crying like a sissy blaming it on his neck or back...
so surgerys are not a good enough excuse?... i stop reading after that...weak
im impressed, he virtually destroyed bader. tito has the chin, the size, the heart, now all he needs to do is keep the motivation goin and keep workin on being well rounded, i still think he can be a force, never been a huge fan of him but if he keeps gettin better he could possibly work to the top 5 or even a title shot again
Titio deserves credit for coming back against a tough opponent.
We shall see how far Tito can go in his division--it will be interesting.
There is only one thing.....I can't stand listening to him talk. He is a total ego case--it's all about me.
I will just plug my ears and look forward to seeing him fight next.
I am eating my words!Very impressive.
